back on track - yipee

You can see that I have been fiddling with my blogs not necessarily adding anything of literary value but redecorating if you like.

Its all about avoidance of course – being (and I’m not looking for moral input) poor currently, it is often easier to bury my head in the sand and pretend it won’t happen. I am talking about post Christmas bills of course.

Oh before you think I have had some fantasy wind fall. I only mean I have paid off the overdue payments – trust me I probably overall owe less than most do on a single credit card. The difference is, my debt is a significantly higher percentage of our household income.

So sitting here writing this, adjusting the settings and yes playing the Torchwood game has been real guilt free therapy – it’s free.

I can lose my self in the virtual world, play games or go window shopping without needing to scrape together the money for diesel.

And before you tell me I should get off my sofa and get a job, being poor is a choice. I don’t want to go out to work to pay someone else to look after my children.

I didn’t have children to offload them for the next 16+ years.

People that have children as pass them over to nurseries, child minders after school clubs etc sadden me. If you don’t want to nurture your children why have children at all?

I understand that there is a place for all these services – but your child minder will be infusing your child with their life experiences. The nursery will give them the manners and moral education laid down in some government guide lines.

Yes there is an argument to say this is a good thing – sometimes parents’ views can be out dated and bigoted and if they are the only opinions which children are exposed to this can also be damaging.

Isn’t that what school is for though? To produce well rounded balanced individuals that learn in a national way what is acceptable to our society? Isn’t that what the National Curriculum is for?

If so, I will continue to enjoy every minute, as my 20 month old twins explore their world, secure in the knowledge that my narrow opinions will be erased from their fragile minds when they start school :)

All this coz I could pay my bills…………………………….. :)
